7,484 acres of Sabine River Authority land on the upper end of Toledo Bend, in Panola County, where the Sabine is the Louisiana line. The reservoir was finished in 1969 and is run jointly by the Texas and Louisiana authorities; the unit is Pineywoods bottom and shoreline along the water, with county parks strung along it.
These need no draw. You still need the right licence and permit, and the seasons below are the ones published for this property.
Hunting with a raptor? Your limit is 3 migratory game birds a day, and three times that in possession — the total across every species you fly at, not 3 of each. It caps the daily bags shown above.
TPWD: “Falconry daily bag and possession limits shall not exceed 3 and 9 migratory game birds respectively, singly or in the aggregate.”
